(MENAFN- AzerNews) Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday urged
Washington to pursue diplomacy and rapprochement, including with
Cuba and Venezuela, as a way to tackle the immigration crisis,
Azernews reports citing Xinhua.
"How is it going to be possible to maintain harmony, peace and
tranquility if there are differences, if there is confrontation
with the neighbors?" Lopez Obrador said during his regular daily
press conference.
To raise the standard of living in Latin America and the
Caribbean region so their people don't feel the need to migrate in
search of work, Washington should work with the governments in the
regions to address poverty and underdevelopment, he said.
To that end, Lopez Obrador said, the United States must change
its foreign policy, especially in regard to countries such as Cuba
and Venezuela, to lift the sanctions imposed due to "ideological
baggage" and cooperate with those nations to curb mass
migration.
